According to Rule 30, Sub-rule (7) of the
Municipality’s Financial Procedures and Fiscal Accountability Regulations,
2077, all payments must be initiated within seven days of a project's
completion. In line with this provision, the municipality has announced that
any department failing to process payments within the stipulated timeframe will
not be allowed to resubmit payment files for the same project.
The notice, signed and released by Chief
Administrative Officer Shanti Raj Prasai, calls upon all municipal departments
to submit files for projects completed by Asar
20 (July 4) along with all relevant documents. Contractors and
consumer committees involved in construction and development works have also
been urged to complete their tasks on time and submit payment claims
accordingly.
The policy aims to instill
a greater sense of discipline and accountability within the municipal
administrative system, ensuring that public resources are managed efficiently
and effectively.
